Well, in some cases certain cats love to be bathed and others don't mind it. One of the main reasons cats dont like to be wet is because of their fur. If your cat has thick fur then he'll most likely be uncomfortable when he is wet. The reason for this is, when the cat is wet and their fur is soaked, it weighs them down, making it very uncomfortable. Another reason is because they may have never experienced it before. In hot weather, some cats like to soak in water to cool off.Most people, when they look at hairless cats, they don't find them as cute as furry fuzzy puffy cats. Cats are typically silky soft furry animals that you can cuddle with. Although, some people do find hairless kitties much more adorbz than furry ones. There are different types of hairless cats.
